Male Screech Owl Makes a Stunning First Appearance in the Nest Box

The male Screech Owl is jumping into action bringing food to the female sitting on 4 eggs.

Mr. Screech Owl made a first and grand appearance in the nest box tonight bringing what looks  like a large bug to his mate who is now not leaving the four eggs for more than a few minutes each day and only at dusk. It's a cold night and they have a tremendous investment in their four eggs and now is the time the male who has been standing by the nest box for the past 10 days to jump into action. Their interactive calls are simply amazing. There are few calls as stirring as theirs in the bird world. Enjoy and definitely watch until the 1:25 mark - you will be amazed by these little creatures!
